[GLLUG] Linux certs

[Lachniet, Mark]

> I got LPI certified.  I liked it as a cert, there is some meat to it.  Some parts were actually harder than I expected.  The good thing about LPI is that it is less expensive and less vendor-specific.  The down side is that there is no hands-on, so its possible that there are more "paper certs" out there.  I've also done some work on the question pool for the new LPIC-1 tests (as a volunteer and paid contractor) and can say that they are pretty good.  I encourage everyone to participate in the test development cycle to make it as good as it can be.  www.lpi.org
